Wide eye paper doll anime

No.1553923 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I have kind of a vague /a/rt request, but do you guys think you could help me find some more anime that have a kind of button/wide eye whites paper doll, style/appearance? I need it for an art study.

What I'm specifically interested about it is the dot-button eyes and the habit of the animators to include a full line on the limb joints as if the character were a posable doll or figure. I think it looks neat. I'm mildly aware that Satoru Utsunomiya kind of popularized it, but he isn't the singular source of the style.
The 1 to 1 "exactly what I'm looking for" examples I can name off right now are:
Long Life To The Ancestors and Fly! Peek the Whale, but those are the only examples atm I'm aware of.

A lot of the work Studio 4C does is also adjacent, or very similar, to what I'm looking for, but I've been a big fan of them for a long time and don't necessarily need recommendations for them.

Thanks.
